Sophie Corser (Goldsmiths):

'Lovers' Discourses: Marcel Proust's Swann's Way and E. M. Forster's A Room with a View'

This paper will consider the narrative presentations of lovers, readers, and writers in Swann in Love and A Room with a View.

Investigating how the perceptions and activities of characters affected by passion are mirrored with the practices of reading and writing within and without the narratives of these texts, I intend to look closely at Charles Swann and Lucy Honeychurch – along with their readers/writers: the narrator of Swann’s Way and teller of Swann in Love, and Lucy’s Misses Bartlett and Lavish.
Ranging from a study of Proust and Forster’s narratives to an exploration of Roland Barthes' A Lover’s Discourse (and other texts), the fragmenting, editing, manticism and oftentimes confusion of reading, writing, and surprising passion shall be compared.

Tom Chadwick will be reading an extract from his creative writing, titled 'The Death of Grandma Tingle'
